Cladribine treatment for Erdheim-Chester disease involving the central nervous system and concomitant polycythemia vera: A case report.
Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hematopathology : JCEH 2018 October 11
Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD), a rare form of non-Langerhans cell histiocytosis, is characterized by the infiltration of foamy CD68+ and CD1a- histiocytes into multiple organ systems. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement has recently been reported to be a poor prognostic factor when treating ECD with interferon alpha. We report the case of a 66-year-old Japanese patient with ECD involving the CNS who harbored the BRAF V600E mutation and also concomitantly developed polycythemia vera with the JAK2 V617F mutation. We confirmed 2-chlorodeoxyadenosine (cladribine) therapy to be effective for the patient in this case.
